Rising to power in the Galactic Senate as Senator Sheev Palpatine, he was elected to the office of Supreme Chancellor and, during the Clone Wars,

At one time Sheev Palpatine was an adorable, innocent little baby.

I actually think with the name "Sheev" they were trying to draw allusions to "Shiva" the Hindu god of destruction.

See George knows how to make cool concepts but holy fuck does he suck at executing them.

Like all of Naboo has a "Hindu" theme if you can believe it.

God why is this guy so good at building a mythos but so terrible at filming it?

The idea seems nice but the execution's not always all that great apparently.

And they totally missed out on the perfect opportunity to make Obi-Van Kenobi.

It's really better to think of Star Wars as vaguely futuristic-themed fantasy than "actual" sci-fi.

But KOTOR is so far away from the og trilogy and doesn't affect stories Disney wants to do while still being beloved. Like sure, get rid of the guy that's literally a horse on the rebels, but why get rid of the cool shit that happened 4000 years before the parts Disney wants to focus on?

GameInformer wrote:A similar situation arose with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’s protagonist, Starkiller. “[That name] was only supposed to be a nickname or call sign, not a proper name from the beginning,” a former LucasArts employee says. The development team hoped that Lucas would give Vader’s apprentice a Darth moniker, which at the time, was something that didn’t happen often.

“The team threw a Hail Mary to George, saying the game would have more credibility if the apprentice had a ‘Darth’ title,” a Force Unleashed team member says. Lucas agreed that this situation made sense for Sith royalty, and offered up two Darth titles for the team to choose from. “He threw out ‘Darth Icky’ and ‘Darth Insanius.’ There was a pregnant pause in the room after that. People waiting for George to say ‘just kidding,’ but it never comes, and he just moved on to another point.”

I said this in that Disney+ thread and nobody else said anything about it. It has the "wild west" aspect that I think Star Wars content has been missing since... basically OT.
